[racket-dev] planet versioning spec?
In the planet documentation, I don't see a spec of the semantics of
versioning. (If it's there, can someone please point me to it?)
My understanding is this; can someone confirm or correct it? (The
#lang part probably isn't relevant, but since that's how I need to use
it, I'm being maximally specific.)
If I say
#lang planet foo/bar:1:1
that presumably is an explicit reference to :1:1, no more and no
fewer. If I just say
#lang planet foo/bar
I mean "the latest version of foo/bar that I've downloaded; don't go
checking right now for whether there's a newer version". So if
foo/bar has moved on to :1:2, I'm still running :1:1. But I say ONCE
#lang planet foo/bar:1:2
that will download and install it; subsequently,
#lang planet foo/bar
refers to :1:2.
(I *think* this is part of what the section "Previous Linkage" says --
http://docs.racket-lang.org/planet/search-order.html
-- but not all of this is specified.)
